Deborra-Lee Furness Finalizes Divorce From Hugh Jackman, Claims Her Share of $250M Fortune.
Deborra-Lee Furness has officially filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman nearly two years after they announced their separation. The Australian actress submitted the paperwork in New York on May 23, following a behind-the-scenes agreement between the couple.
“A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,” a source told the Daily Mail on Tuesday.
“There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, [Deborra] got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.” The insider added that Furness, 69, has gained the “closure she needed.” The final step is for a judge to approve the divorce.

A separate source confirmed the divorce is uncontested, with both parties agreeing to the terms. “They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children,” the insider said. “They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.”
Representatives for both Furness and Jackman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The announcement comes months after reports revealed the pair were struggling to divide their $250 million fortune. In March, a source told the Daily Mail that Furness was holding up the divorce as she felt “entitled to more money than” Jackman was offering at the time.
The couple had announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. “We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” they said in a joint statement at the time. “Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

Rumors also surfaced around that time about Jackman’s alleged affair with his “Music Man” co-star Sutton Foster. Sources said the two formed a connection while starring together on Broadway from December 2021 to January 2023. “They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” an insider said. Foster, 50, filed for divorce from her second husband in October 2024 after a decade of marriage.
In recent months, Furness has been “rebuilding her life and taking a vacation to Bhutan” for a fresh start following Jackman’s alleged betrayal. A source told Us Weekly, “She’s relied on a strong support system of female friends. She also spends time with other women who’ve been through similar situations who offer her unwavering support.”
As this chapter closes, we hope fairness prevails in the final arrangements and that both Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman find happiness and peace moving forward — for themselves and their family.
